  1. 1. Christ Is King

    Paul's Royal Ideology

    Examines how Paul’s letters depict Jesus as a royal figure who enacts justice, liberation, and benefaction, drawing on both Jewish messianic hopes and Greco-Roman ideals of kingship. By framing the gospel as the proclamation of a reigning Lord who conquers rival powers and forms a new people, it shows how royal imagery shapes Christian identity, ethics, worship, and mission. The study argues that this royal ideology both resonates with and subverts imperial claims, calling communities to exclusive allegiance and public witness.

  2. 2. Reading The Gospels As Christian Scripture

    A Literary, Canonical, and Theological Introduction

    A concise introduction to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that treats them as theological narratives for the church, integrating literary analysis, historical context, and canonical relationships with Scripture. It highlights each Gospel’s distinctive portrayal of Jesus, major themes, and narrative design, and shows how the fourfold witness shapes Christian belief, worship, and discipleship. The work equips readers with practices for attentive reading and theological interpretation that bridge academic study and ecclesial use, especially for preaching and spiritual formation.
